My present invention relates to ineniiioltling sales books and hasparticular relation to means for cletachably securing pads, purticulariyof so-collecl triplicate arrangement, to the covers of such books.

Tit-hos for its object to provide a simple and practical sales bookl]0l( l(51'. l1 lfil1'lg peel holding means which may be ucljustecl inthe course of manufacture to take peels of? fllf ferent sizes.

In the accompanying drawing. wherein is shown one of various possibleenibotliinents of my' invention. Figure 1 is a perspective View of aportion of o. holder sot ficent to illustrate one embodiment of thepresent invention; and Fig. 2 is an encl elevationul iew of a completesales book in normal operative position.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout bothviews or the drawing.

Referring now in detail to the ecoorn punying drawing and 1110M;particularly to 2 it will be seen that the present invention comprisesa. llololer having 2. niein or bottom cover 1 to which is flexiblyconnected 2r top'corer 2 by means ot a hinge 3 extending along one ofthe side edges. The opposite side erigc is provirieol with a secondhinge for attaching an auxiliary back or support 5 holcling e pad forreceiving scriptions. This peel in the'present case is securerl theretoin my desired; manner, and song it plur ty of sets of original andduplicate ieeves 6 and 7, respectively. has associated theretr li edoublescour carbon sheet 8, represented by the heavy line, adapted to beinterposed therebetween. The pad comprising plurolityof sets of originalancl duplieatelesves is rernovobly secured to the support 5 by means ofa spring clamp 5 having teeth 5" adapted to beer on the top of s idpeel. The triplicate reco'rii. of transaction is obtained. uponL theleaves of another peel 1O securecl at one side of the bottom cover 1.The leaves of the triplicate pod are preferably oi. tissue, entlin'nseare interposed between the upper surface of the carbon sheet 8 end theunder surface or" the origin-til leaf It will thus be seen. that whenthe inscription is recorded upon the original leaf 6 it will liereproducecl upon the upper surface oi the tripli-= cote leaf 7 and theunder surface of t .e'

tissue sheet 11. "which being, translucent permits the inscription to beread through it. Alter the transaction is recorded the l.-

the hinge to Witlioperative position. 2 and ti" ippecl to a positioneen. iii. oin cover 1 and tl' 5, as slio'm'i at 12. tin. manner :1 conp.e record of all of the tent-sections coirveni filel away.

The pre -t invention resides more per3- ticulnrly in the means forliolcling or secur ing the pad 10 to the holder, and is shown moreclearly in Fig. l The holding means comprises two sheet metal clips 13anal is, secured utliueent the lower and upper edge, respectively, ofthe bottom cover 1 in any (lesiretl manner, is by means of rivets 15.The clip 13 is coniposeo of resilient sheet metal lz-ent back uponitself at 16 l1. ing upper and lower parts turnecl up to form flangeshaving" between tliei. groove in which i nza r be disposed cart or meback of the purl. These "up-turned portions 31? and if}; of the uppersncl lower limits of the :lip respectively provirle an abutmentncluptecl to prevent lateral encl endwise increment oi? the pad. or thepustebonrcl back 26 of re pail. which is scored along the (letter int21st which the leaves of the earl are sti'telrccL/as "Well as along; theclotted. line closely utl ineeut thereto. thereby permitting the coverto be bent to ooniorrn tire the clip. The other clip 14: con'ipr'ses twoparts, the base portion which IS secured to the cover of the book o?rivets 15. as above described. and? is proricletl one side with a flange2-3 similar to that of the lower clip. The upper portion of the clip isalso provided with a similar flange 25 corrcsponclingngto the portion.1.? of the lower clip. 'llrese parts spueecl (lruu'n no as shown in.npert form a. groove in which is disposed of this type is substantiallyfollows:

When it is desired to insert a triplicate book 10 in the holder, theoperator first raises the upper portion 2% of the clip laiby means ofthe notch 28 and then inserts the attach in member or cover 20 of thetriplicate boo-lit into the lower clip between its upper and lowerportions. The scored lines 21 and 2 :2 permit the cover to conform tothe shape of the clip more readily. ()1). releasing the upper part 24:of the clip 1% the same will. swing down under the action of the spring27 and firmly clamp the cover portion of the hook 10 in position. Theupright portions of both clips terminate substantially midway betweenthe top and bottom. of the original. pad, as shown in 2, wl'ierehy thetriplicate leaves will lie hat and completely cover the carbon sheet.thus permit-- ting the entire transaction to he properly recorded.

By having the holding means in two parts a large stock of these partsmay helrept constantly on hand. by the nuinufacturer of the holders andplaced upon. the covers of the holders according to the requirements ofthe order. for some concerns prefer a longer or shorter sales hook thanothers. The use of special machines and dies for stamping: out completeholders made from a single piece for the various sizes required is ac-.cordingly eliminated. It is also to he noted that there is great savingin the'ummint of 'material used, thus greatly reducing the weight of thebook as well as its cost oi manufacture.

It is thus seen that the present invention is particularly designed for:ICCOIl'lPliSllll-W' among; others, all of the objects and advert tasesahove set forth.

Having described my invention "What I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters latent is:
